I can, therefore I am.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Never complain and never explain.

It's always too early to quit.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
